hello to all! I have finally worked though some password issues and am finally now able to get this stinkin’ blog going. This is a new venture for me and I am very excited about it. I spent this past winter on the couch dealing with a broken tibial plateau from a blow delt by a rather stout little maple tree while skiing! As some of you may know given those sort of situations you typically have a lot of time to think, along with watch your favorite movies in three different languages with subtitles and not remember what you just watched given the effects of Vicadin…. anyhow realization of dreams led me to this blog and I hope this is a dream full of pocket-water, smooth runs and healthy trout!
The month of May has been much more like April and visa versa, water levels have been dropping throughout the month and the temps have been on the cool side. the hatches for the month have been quick due to the winds that have been sweeping the bugs off the water due to the ability for their wings to dry and giving them just a bit of extra loft as well. The trout have not really been looking up to the surface to this point given the current situations. Nymphs and streamers have been producing well and the fishing as been pretty damn good. It seems as though the rainbows are dropping back into their holding spots for the summer and the browns have been holding there for a while now. Most streams has of todays post have been running between 57 degrees and 63 degrees on a longer flatter stretch of the white river. on Sunday, the White did produce several nice rainbows the biggest being about 18 inches brought to net by my pal Andrew. We did have the opportunity to watch in on some monster rainbows that seemed to understand the structure and how it was one of the hardest pieces of water to even get a line into, we fished at them a bit but to no avail. I will try to post every few days or so with a balance of storytelling and technical information, so for now good luck and If your in need of a guide I’ve got some time! Salut!
